On a recent trip from Louisville to Paducah we decided to make a stop a this service plaza for a…read morebreak. Service Plazas that are built between both directions of the expressway make so much more sense than having a rest area on each side...but that's not what this is about. This Hucks is huge! It's spacious and well lit, and has just about everything you need from a service plaza. The entryways are clean and well maintained. It was a rainy day and staff was frequently checking the lobby and mopping up water that had been tracked in. I love the barn wood décor. It's homey and feels rustic and outdoorsy. There is no end to the stuff you can buy here. Sandwiches. Snacks. Soft drinks (both bottle/can and fountain). Donuts. Fresh sandwiches. Rotisserie chicken. Dippin' Dots!®. There's also non-food related stuff like Baseball caps. Apparel. Basic car/truck supplies. A lot more stuff than I would normally imagine. All of the racks and shelves and displays are well-spaced so you don't feel crowded. The only staff member we interacted with was a cashier and she pretty unenthusiastic about the whole ordeal (we about a donut, some beef jerky, and two bottles of water) and I got the impression she'd rather be somewhere else. This kind of service plaza is what most should aspire to. Clean, well-stocked, and convenient.

Awful Gas Station. Inserted my CC in the gas pump, readout said to select fuel and remove nozzle,…read morefilled up the tank, and then replaced nozzle. When finished the pump said to "go inside for reimbursement" -no receipt given? I went inside to get my receipt and was informed that the cashier funded my gas pump mistakenly instead of a different customer's that had paid cash in advance. I told the cashier I would pay with my card - no problem. She called her Manager to figure out how to fix the issue and the only way they new how to fix it was to have me pay cash. This all occurred loudly in front of all the customers in the store. In the end I was directed I had no other choice than to pay cash! I paid with the little cash I had left and informed the cashier I would never return. She informed the manager on the phone and I understood he/she was fine with this solution to the problem the gas station employees created. A Valero Gas station is across the street. Recommend you go there for your gas.

I did not have any need to go inside. This was a "park and take a nap" stop. The rest area has a Huck's for auto gas, a Pilot for trucks and a Godfather Express for both. The parking lot is level, it is lighted and I did not see a sign limiting how long you're allowed to stay. We were here about 90 minutes and no one bothered us before we pulled back onto the road to continue the journey. I've been to dozens, if not hundreds, of rest stops in my travels. This one is better than OK. [Review 279 of 2025 - 295 in Kentucky - 23842 overall]
